feat: add optional You.com search integration

- Add YouComMcpClient for You.com web search API
- Extend search web command with --provider flag (dashscope|youcom)
- Support optional YDC_API_KEY env var (falls back to keyless API)
- MCP-compatible tool interface for agent integration
- Graceful error handling and fallback behavior
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing DashScope search
- Add comprehensive documentation and usage examples

+# You.com Web Search Integration
+
+This CLI now supports You.com as an optional web search provider alongside the default DashScope WebSearch service.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `YDC_API_KEY` (optional): You.com API key for authenticated requests
+- `YOUCOM_BASE_URL` (optional): Custom You.com API base URL (default: https://api.you.com)
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Use default DashScope WebSearch
+bailian-cli search web --query "latest AI developments"
+
+# Use You.com search explicitly
+bailian-cli search web --query "latest AI developments" --provider youcom
+
+# Use You.com with API key authentication
+export YDC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+bailian-cli search web --query "TypeScript features" --provider youcom --count 5
+
+# List available tools from You.com
+bailian-cli search web --list-tools --provider youcom
+```
+
+## Features
+
+### Keyless Operation
+You.com search works without an API key (100 free searches per day) but performs better with authentication.
+
+### MCP Tool Integration
+When used as an MCP server, the You.com integration exposes:
+
+- **Tool**: `youcom_web_search`
+- **Description**: Search the web using You.com. Returns relevant results with titles, URLs, and snippets.
+- **Parameters**:
+  - `query` (required): The search query string
+  - `count` (optional): Number of results (1-20, default: 10)
+  - `safesearch` (optional): Safe search setting ("strict", "moderate", "off", default: "moderate")
+  - `country` (optional): Country code for localized results (e.g. "US", "GB")
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The integration gracefully handles:
+- Network timeouts and connection errors
+- API rate limits (HTTP 429)
+- Authentication failures (HTTP 401)
+- Invalid queries and malformed responses
+- Fallback behavior when API key is invalid
+
+### Output Formats
+
+Results are available in both JSON and human-readable text formats, with structured metadata including:
+- Page titles and URLs
+- Content snippets
+- Publication age (when available)
+- Provider identification for mixed workflows
+
+## Architecture
+
+The You.com integration is implemented as:
+1. **YouComMcpClient**: MCP-compatible client for You.com API
+2. **Provider Selection**: Optional `--provider` flag in existing search commands  
+3. **Environment Configuration**: Standard environment variable configuration
+4. **Graceful Fallback**: Falls back to keyless API when authentication fails
+
+## Contributing
+
+The You.com integration follows the existing CLI patterns:
+- MCP protocol compliance for tool interoperability
+- Structured error handling with BailianError
+- Consistent CLI flag naming and behavior
+- Environment-based configuration
+- Comprehensive test coverage (when test infrastructure is available)
